Solution

The correct option is B

False


The enthalpy of adsorption for physisorption is quite low, usually between 20- 40 kJ per mol.
This can be explained easily through the fact that the forces involved in physisorption are weak and hence the enthalpy difference would also be low accordingly and it is exothermic.
